Product overview
A 20ft used shipping container — also called a 20-foot conex box, conex container, or cargo container — is a pre-owned steel storage unit you own outright, and the most cost-effective way to add secure, weatherproof storage that lasts for decades. It is our most popular size: roomy enough for a small home's worth of belongings, a vehicle, or a full job-site of tools, yet compact enough for most driveways and lots.
Is a used container still reliable? Yes. Our used units are structurally sound and sealed against rain and pests, with years of service left. Built from corrosion-resistant Corten steel with a marine-grade plywood floor and lockable cargo doors, a used conex protects your gear just as well as a new one.
What should I expect? Honest cosmetic character — minor dents, scuffs, and surface rust from years in shipping. None of it affects performance. Ideal for on-site tool and equipment storage, farm and ranch supplies, garage overflow, retail backstock, jobsite security, or a custom build.
Buy your 20ft used container online now while it is in stock, or rent this size from $99/month — both delivered in 3-7 days across the US. Pricing, dimensions, and FAQs are in the product tabs.

Delivery options
We offer two types of trucks for container delivery:
Tilt-Bed Truck
Ideal for easy offloading without equipment.
Requirements: 65 ft of straight clearance, 12 ft width, and 16 ft vertical clearance.
Flatbed Truck
Best if you have on-site equipment (like a forklift) for unloading.
Requirements: 65 ft of straight clearance, 12 ft width, 14 ft vertical clearance, and side access for unloading.
You will need a forklift rated for at least 10,000 lbs to remove the container.
Site Preparation
Before scheduling delivery, please ensure:
- Clear, unobstructed access for the truck.
- No overhead obstacles like trees, power lines, or structures.
- Dry, solid ground conditions. (Notify us if the ground is wet or muddy.)
Containers can be placed directly onto flat, solid surfaces — no foundation required.
Delivery Timing
Delivery is typically completed within 1–3 business days after your container is ready for dispatch.
